Skinning Windows XP!

External Link
October 10, 2001 1:01:41 AM from JoeUser ForumsJoeUser Forums
Stardock is putting all its energies into getting WindowBlinds 3 ready. WindowBlinds 3 represents the most significant rewrite to WindowBlinds since the earliest betas (0.39 for those old timers).

Its new design is based on WindowBlinds XP, a Windows XP specific version of the program (the final version will all be called WindowBlinds 3 and work on all Windows platforms to reduce confusion).

The full enhanced version is currently only available as part of Stardock's Object Desktop. Users who want to get that can order it at https://www.stardock.com/order.html

It only exists internally right now. And it'll only be available in the full (non shareware) version of WindowBlinds.

Frogboy -

The full enhanced version is currently only available as part of Stardock's Object Desktop.

-Does that mean they will not sell this NEW version in a stand-alone?

When WindowBlinds 3 is released, there will be the following initially:

WindowBlinds 3 (Shareware) - will skin a more limited set of controls (no scrollbars, progress, like before but with some modifications for v3), will not include goodies like extra skins (XP Cobalt and others), no colorizing, limited SmartBars.

WindowBlinds 3 (Enhanced/Registered) - for people who purchase WB standalone. Has all the stuff limited above, extra skins, etc. Enhanced wbconfig with additional options (like skin browsing a la 2.x). Obtained directly from Stardock or in a box.

WindowBlinds 3 (Object Desktop) - same as enhanced/registered version above, distributed via ODNT electronically and CD snapshots.

WOW! That skin rocks, I can't wait for it to be included. I like XP copper and all but its just as bland as the original XP interface (which I dont like anyway).
